Why would monkeys not be here? They're highly evolved. I don't get your premise.

>> No.15211718

Why would they change? Evolution doesn't have a set goal it's aiming towards. Once an animal finds its niche it stays there.

If you want to make the "Why is X still here?" argument against evolution, you should pick an animal that is actually ancient and out of time, like the horseshoe crab. In the grand scheme of animal life, monkeys are basically brand new. There's no reason to think they'd be gone already.

The last common ancestor of humans and apes was around 10-20 million years ago. That population then split and one branch became humans while the other remained as apes.

Both "remained as apes". In reality they each became different kinds of apes than they were before.

But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Animals don't just go extinct simply "because". Why do you think the monkeys should be dead? What do you think should have killed them off? Humans? We probably could, but have chosen not to. What else then?

Ah yes the classic "it happened 105235262 gorillion years ago" so it must be true, just like the big bang. Saying an implausible thing happened ages ago, doesn't add credibility to it.

Evolution isn't a character creator trying to select for "human". See >>15211718

You can have two physically separated groups of the same animal but because one is under evolutionary pressure (different climate, lack of food, predators etc) they will change while the other remains static.

You're either misunderstanding or intentionally misrepresenting the claim that is being made.
I drew up a diagram to help illustrate.
You can think of evolution as being analogous to a family tree.
The "monkey" we evolved from is not the same species as the monkeys that exist today, just like your cousin is not the same as your grandparents.
